Photos: Rockies lose to Astros, 7-3

HOUSTON — Jamie Moyer looked out from the bench, a sightless stare, before trudging back to the clubhouse Saturday night. Sometimes dreams, no matter how vivid, are not enough. The 49-year-old entered the clubhouse nearly four hours before first pitch. He wore spectacles and carried his notebook with scouting report in hand. He stood on history’s welcome mat and the door slammed in his face. In his first attempt to become the oldest pitcher to win a major-league game, Moyer was punished for mistakes and undermined by sloppy defense as the Rockies fell 7-3 to the Astros at Minute Maid Ballpark.
